RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann has revealed that the club defender Dayot Upamecano will not be leaving during the summer transfer window.
Upamecano has been heavily linked with the move to Manchester United, with the club boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eager to strengthen the defence, following the transfer of Donny van de Beek from Ajax.
However, Nagelsmann has stated that the 21-year-old will not depart from the German side this summer.
"He will be here for the season. I'm sure about that. As for the future, I'm not sure as he is very talented. Lots of clubs will want to buy -- next season it could be real that he leaves the club. But this season he will stay," he told ESPN.
"It is normal when you work with young guys that clubs will try and find young talented guys in the transfer market. It is normal that bigger clubs will try and buy these players.
"You have to deal with that, you've got to be one step forward when you buy new players or find new players. Our scouting should be good and we have made a lot of good decisions in the transfer market."
